Abstract: The invention encompasses novel compounds of Formula I, which are nitric oxide-releasing prodrugs of diaryl-2-(5H) furanones useful in the treatment of cyclooxygenase-2 mediated diseases. The invention also encompasses certain pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of cyclooxygenase-2 mediated diseases comprising the use of compounds of Formula I. The above compounds may be used as a combination therapy with low-dose aspirin to treat chronic cyclooxygenase-2 mediated diseases or conditions while simultaneously reducing the risk of thrombotic cardiovascular events.

Abstract: Disclosed are new ligands for use in a binding assay for proteases and phosphatases, which contain cysteine in their binding sites or as a necessary structural component for enzymatic binding. The sulfhydryl group of cysteine is the nucleophilic group in the enzyme's mechanistic proteolytic and hydrolytic properties. The assay can be used to determine the ability of new, unknown ligands and mixtures of compounds to competitively bind with the enzyme versus a known binding agent for the enzyme, e.g., a known enzyme inhibitor. By the use of a mutant form of the natural or native wild-type enzyme, in which serine, or another amino acid, e.g., alanine, replaces cysteine, the problem of interference from extraneous oxidizing and alkylating agents in the assay procedure is overcome. The interference arises because of oxidation or alkylation of the sulfhydryl, —SH (or —S−), in the cysteine, which then adversely affects the binding ability of the enzyme.

Abstract: A battery charger for a cellular phone, having a speaker includes an ear jack connected to an ear jack of the cellular phone, for transmitting a voice signal of the cellular phone to the battery charger, a voice amplifier for amplifying the voice signal from the ear jack, and a speaker for converting the voice signal output from the voice amplifier into voice. The battery charger for a cellular phone, having a speaker further includes a communication port connected to a communication port of the cellular phone when the cellular phone is inserted(connected) to the battery charger, for mutually transmitting the voice signal, and a selector for connecting either the communication port or the ear jack with the voice amplifier.
